Question
ok please help, How do i know when my rottweiler is about to go into labor she has a milky colour discharge at the moment is that a sign

Answer
Hi Kim

The first sign is nesting, she should have a whelping box with newspaper or old sheets she can burrow in. Then the female will usually be off her food, her temperature will drop and the weight of the pups can be seen "shifting" from her entire body to the back end (her shoulder blades will become more pronounced).

Her milk could come in as early as a few days prior to whelping.


Good luck.
